reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA353600 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This document describes a methodology for imputing AFQT scores for members of the National Educational Longitudinal Study NELS sample. It then uses that methodology to explore some implications of test score trends for military recruiting. A forthcoming report uses these estimated test scores in models of individual enlistment behavior. The report will be of interest both to individuals concerned with the methodological issues related to imputing test scores and to those setting recruiting policy.
